Still incredibly overwhelmed by life, however, I had a thought I wanted to pass around. This quest pack, and the Sorasil pack, could be viewed as side quests used for what video games would call "Unlockables" or "Hidden characters". What if these quests are used as a means of "unlocking" the spare characters, specifically to be used as henchmen in future quests? Obviously this would be something optional, as anyone who played this pack would still have the option of using the characters as characters, not henchmen. However, some game related documents emphasize "The Four" as emblematic to the series(game, book, and storywise). This idea comes to me in reflection on the White Dwarf quests where Pierre Chancier and the trollslayer are "unlocked".
The character minis from dragon strike are almost all used as henchmen type npcs during one quest or another. These quests could be the key to unlocking each character, and they even have names, like Griz, the good Wizard, and such. What do you think?
Sure it's pretty scary when the witch lord returns but what you should really be afraid of is "Resurrection of the Witch Lord". Resurrected baddies always come back more threatening than ever, usually kind of demonic with wings and horns and hell fire to announce their arrival. Think Gannondorf or Mother Brain from Super Metroid.
